We welcome students and anyone who wants to gain experience in theatre production.

Anyone getting involved should be aged over 16 (to the sky's the limit) and able to attend our rehearsals and meetings in Brixham. Placements will involved working on specific theatre shows in either the rehearsal or show run, and unless otherwise formally agreed, will be on a strictly voluntary basis. 

We are happy for students to get involved either for a fixed number of rehearsals, or for an entire show run. 

We may also be able to offer technical mentorship via our venue partners. 

Specific shows may have a specific set of tasks, but common areas that we can offer placements in, include: 

Anyone involved gets full references, photos and/ or videos evidencing their involvement, and we are happy to discuss anything else needed.

ArtsEd has a long history of producing many of the UK’s leading musical theatre performers. Our BTEC in Musical Theatre has been designed to form the foundations of this training.

Students on this pathway rapidly develop the singing, dancing, and acting skills necessary to progress in this demanding genre. Training in each area quickly establishes the level of discipline required and gives students the opportunity to master techniques and gain full control of their performance skills.

Weekly classes include singing, acting, ballet, tap and jazz. These skills are assessed throughout the year in performance projects created by small companies of students.

Recent assessment performances have included:

The course is enhanced by regular theatre trips and workshops run by industry professionals, including music directors, choreographers and West End performers.

Full support is provided to students throughout the application and audition processes for further training, study or professional work.

Some Sixth Form graduates remain at ArtsEd to study on our degree course, many secure places at other leading drama schools including GSA, Mountview, RCSSD, LAMDA, Laine Theatre Arts and Urdang.
